Ahhhhh I'm so tired of feeling isolated and alone. My anxiety is getting the better of me but I don't know what to do. Esp bc I'm also AuDHD and there seem to little supports irl I can reliably apply for and feel like I have a chance of getting. Esp since I'm sure my original DX for the asd part translates to lvl1 and it's so hard trying to convey to people I need more help than that indicates....

Crowded places give me #PanicAttacks

When they don't have nothing new to feed you and they go back to what they were saying 20 years ago, then you know. #panicattacks

FFS I'm currently panicking about the possibility of having panic attacks!

I've has #panicAttacks at railway stations & airports in the last few years.
The GP diagnosed this as a Situational Anxiety and gave me #Sertraline for that and the mounting #depression.

I think it's working slowly on the depression, but I'm much less convinced about the anxiety. I sensed it a bit before going out to the bus yesterday.

Maybe I will ask for the beta-blockers as well.

I've endured random episodes of anxiety/panic attacks for the past 24 years. Coming once a decade or so and lasting intermittently for weeks/months. Doctors believe it's mental but considering the random times it appears, I believe it's physical. The 3 times it's happened I was prescribed "lorazepam" which did nothing. This time I started taking OTC Valerian Root and my anxiety is muted/nearly gone immediately.

Whether Psychosomatic or not, it's working for me.

Does anyone with experience of panic attacks have a feeling for whether they arise out of a gradual, largely unnoticed building of anxiety and/or whether the panic attack's resultant effect is to temporarily "reset" the mind to a calmer setting?

In other words, could a panic attack be viewed as a cathartic release of pent-up anxiety?

It took me a long time to truly understand what its like to be on multiple medications for anxiety and how debilitating it was. And most especially what a rock star you had to be to continue to function. #medication #anxiety #panicattacks

In my last toot I mentioned my #panicattacks I used to get in supermarkets.
People assumed that they were due to being surrounded by lots of people.
What freaked me out was being presented with overwhelming choice of apparently the same items. This along with the noise in shops sent me into a massive tailspin!

There are other aspects of #anxiety that I've increasingly struggled with - hence the #Sertraline , but the #supermarket thing seems to have largely receded.

#mentalhealth is very odd!

We've got a grocery delivery due this afternoon. We started having home delivery well before the pandemic because I used to have dreadful panic attacks in supermarkets. - The #anxiety & #panicAttacks are not so bad now, but home delivery is great.

This evening we've got an online carer's group 'at' my daughter’s psychiatric hospital. I'm not sure how useful these are, but it's a connection.

I found out that there is a Food Not Bombs group in my little town, Unfortunately my crippling anxiety is telling me I can't go alone and I'm struggling. Guh :blobcatghostdead: #foodNotBombs #anxiety #panicAttacks #areReal

Those of us on the spectrum are very familiar with stress, anxiety, panic and general dysregulation. Here are some wonderful yoga techniques that will calm your over active vagal response. Sometimes we need to employ our body to deal with trauma response. We cannot always think our way out of it. I found this video extremely helpful. #anxiety #panicattacks #yoga #breathwork #meditation #Polyvagal

Panic attack in the supermarket. I’ve sat down and am waiting for it to pass.

I really, really struggle with #DecisionMaking. Whether it be picking food to eat or buying a gift for someone, I struggle to the point it causes #PanicAttacks. I particularly struggle with making decisions on someone else's behalf.

A nail client has left it up to me what design & colours she has on her next set. Most nail techs love the freedom of doing what they like, but for me, it is daunting & overwhelming.

I struggle to pick what I'm gonna do on my own nails. How am I supposed to pick someone else??? There's just too many variables to consider (1 of which is she's allergic to certain products & it's actually quite difficult to come up with designs that don't use those products) but also colours, techniques, styles etc.

If I'm in a creative mood, then it's not so bad, but my creativity has been AWOL for several months now. I'm starting to think it's gone for good.

Sometimes, you have to feel the panic attack completely instead of forcing it away. Either way is pain. 💔
